Sanjourno Must Die! creator Jim Lujan has been doing this
gig for a while voicing and creating cartoons for a number of years so
it’s no surprise that his new series is pretty damn good. Laden with an
artisan twist that animation fans of Bill Plympton would find soothing,
we start off Sanjourno’s tale a little bit like the film Goodfellas where
a bunch of gangsters are driving in a car and there’s a mysterious aura
in the air. You really don’t know what it is until what you are
watching takes you back in time a little bit and tells you why your hero
is in the situation that he is in. And yes, just in case if you are
wondering I am comparing this to a Scorsese flick and I should because
this tale is just as gritty and unsettling but with a sarcastic brush
definitely put on notice.
